Saving #Wintergreen, A Confusing Wee Flower
https://www.plantlife.org.uk/saving-wintergreen-a-confusing-wee-flower/"#wintergreens are partial #mycoheterotrophs, which means that they have an alternative to #photosynthesis for acquiring their energy to grow. They can parasitically take sugars and minerals from #fungus in woodland #soils. This ability is likely part of why they are so challenging to propagate in captivity. There have also been suggestions that the presence of specific #fungi is necessary for the tiny seeds to germinate."
